Nlds (Giants vs. Nationals)

Anyone else question SF sending the 2nd runner in the 9th? I know it's do or die there, and it was close enough to have a credible review... but you hold him and you have a chance to end the game in half the time.

Ausmus, yeah. I'm drinking.

For one thing, you're bringing in a fresh arm. It seems to me classic he was damned if he did, damned if he didn't.

I think Williams didn't like the matchup vs Posey, I wonder if it was Pence or even Sandoval he makes the move? He said if he got in trouble he was gone but specifically brought up Posey.

Right. How were Buster's previous abs versus Zim? That I imagine played a role in the decision.

I think you have to send him, it took a pretty good relay and it was bang, bang. I know it was Posey but just yesterday remember JJ scored and he runs like a catcher. I agreed with it 100&.

3 runs in 27 innings. Delmon got that many in with one hit. Yikes. Not like Sf has been much better but these guys aren't playing like a one seed.

I hope they are proud. Waste of 6 months.

Waste of six months? Ouch. I can't put my finger on what it is with the Nats but I get the impression that they're not near as tight a bunch as our guys are. Buck is a better manager than Davey was at that point in Davey's career too and certainly better than Williams.

I am so disgusted with this team - its almost like the post season started and the offense decided they didn't want to be in the post season.

If this team doesn't learn how to play small ball they will never win in the post season, and the life span of this teams pitching staff is up in 1-2 seasons.

I half agree, still torn. You're right, take a chance, make them make a perfect play. Washington did, Detroit didn't. Just like I said yesterday about Hardy.

Can't blame em for being upset.

Just looked at baseball-reference. Looks like he as 3-15 with zero XBH going into tonight. He was 1-3 vs him tonight with a lineout.

Thx. Hard to say but I lean towards it being the right move to pull.

How can Williams say "hindsight is 20/20" when explaining the decision to remove Zimm? He says the plan was to remove him if he got in trouble. There was no trouble. He walked a guy and was lathered up and dominating. Unreal. Ray Knight agrees - no feel for the game.

Williams is a terrible manager. Second guess all you want, we'll never know. He's not a good manager and never will be.

Honestly i was shocked they hired a rookie manager to replace DJ like I was Detroit for Leyland.

Said about our offense in 2012...
